Linux in Victoria Brochure

Created for hand out during the 1997 VIEX show, our Linux in Victoria brochure has been a great success. In less than 5 months we have distributed over 3000 brochures to the public at shows and at retail locations.

The content for the brochure was created via collaboration on our e-mail list, and was first mocked up using these HTML pages. Once the content was agreed upon, Ewan Edwards provided the desktop publishing skills to create a very professional looking product.

We encourage other LUGs to consider producing and distributing brochures as a means of public awareness. Please feel free to contact us for assistance. And if you know of a good location for our brochures, please be sure to suggest the location.


There are several views of the brochure, linked to below. This is to assist with content flow, as there are various views of the content depending on how it is unfolded. Server Side Includes are used so only one copy of the content exists, and is brought into which ever view is appropriate.

The layout is rough and is primarily for sizing and content flow design. Layout issues are dealt with during the DTP phase.

First Impression Front panel of the brochure - what the viewer generally sees first.
Second Impression Two panels showing when front page is flipped open. Usually the second set of panels viewed.
Back of brochure Single panel shown when the back of the brochure is viewed. This is sometimes the second impression. In this case the path usually returns to the "Second Impression" node above.
Third Impression Three panels showing when brochure is fully unfolded via above path.
Fourth Impression Three panels showing when brochure is turned over after above path.
Printed View - "Two up" Showing pages one and two of the brochure. These are printed back-to-back and then folded.
PDF - "Two up" Shows the final version after desktop publishing.
